What happened: Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is questionable to return due to a stinger. The injury occurred after he was tackled for a loss on the team's opening offensive snap.

Why it matters: Barkley's early exit forces Philadelphia to lean on its reserve backs in a 7-7 game. Losing their primary rusher disrupts the offensive game plan and places immediate pressure on the passing attack to compensate.

By the numbers: Philadelphia entered the contest at 1-3 this season, averaging 16.2 points per game while allowing 25.0 points to opponents.

What to watch: Medical staff will evaluate Barkley on the sideline as the game progresses. The team is expected to provide further updates regarding his status.
